Case 25 SoCal's Rainmaker Wizard, Charles Hatfield!
Welcome to the culture of Pluviculture! Or as folks in America during the late 1800s called Rainmaking! A fringe science where savvy folk would travel to small towns throughout the Midwest & across the sw to draught ridden towns to promise them rain! In Nebraska a whole “rain god association” had formed teaching folk how to make rain grow in the sky! There were countless methods to do this from explosions to noxious fumes & chemicals. & today I bring you one of the most famous rainmakers who saved… or cursed the city of San Diego. Cuz in 1914 San Diego was plagued for years by draughts & LA taking their water. So the locals demanded the city council hire their local famous rainmaker, Charles Hatfield. & while the city accepted his offer to fill their dam, the city attorney, Cosgrove, made sure the city would never pay out even if rain came. & rain definitely came, but then it never stopped! & after a major storm smashed into San Diego, the rainmaker expected to be paid. Rumors say he told the city council they gotta pay now or the will witness REAL RAIN! & this was only days before the famous Hatfield Flood. So I’ll talk about this sensational story & Charles Hatfields whole life to figure out if he was just an excellent grifter, or a mad scientist bent on helping his nation! I’ll also talk other big names in Pluviculture & modern rainmakers! From Californias dowsing rod wielding Water Witches to a Florida company that claims it can make rain on demand! Plus some insight on real life weather modification & CLOUDSEEDING to see if the rainmakers where actually onto something! Lastly I’ll take you to these exact locations & many more around San Diego including abandoned gold mines, worlds largest objects & a church teaching 4th dimensional travel! I’ve got it here for you on the Season 1 Finale of Fringe History! The Podcast will be on hiatus for the rest of the summer after bringing you dozens of folklore legends over 1 year now. I’ll be returning in the fall with many more legends, but in the mean time I’ll be streaming folklore & metazoo cards on twitch! @FringeHistorygames.

Case 24 NJ's Mantis Man 0f the Musconetcong!
Welcome to the forgotten river county of NJ, where the trees overhang creates dark tunnels along the Musconetcong river. In these haunting waters multiple fisherman have reported a creature with incredible powers. A 7ft scaled mantis creature with the ability to cloak itself, massive wings & a hypnotic buzz that can daze those it encounters. But no attacks have been reported, the opposite actually as some have said the can sorta “talk” via a kinda telepathy! So are these creatures friends or for? Maybe just observers, from space perhaps? Others say they could be mutant bug / man hybrids made in the NJ hills or even say a large Cryptid bug we haven’t discovered! Well I’ve got the lowdown on the eyewitness accounts & what the lead researcher on this phenomena has got to say! Fringe History is Created, Produced & hosted by Basti B.
